Revision Paper about Ethics

Read the carefully then do the activities
In many parts of the world people do not hesitate to engage in activities that do not comply with the basic patterns of ethics. The absence of legal structures to control their business and spread of poverty and illiteracy in their land encourage the birth of all sorts of unlawful practices.
In Asia and in Africa but also in South America the widespread usage of child labour by merciless employers and the expanding trade in drugs and narcotics dominated by powerful groups are vivid examples of the barbrous features that take grip of human societies.
We also find that bribery and the embezzlement of public funds by unscrupulous individuals take alarming proportions in many nations. At the same time the unauthorized sale of arms and the marketing of suspicious medicaments whose consumption is proved harmful for the sick have become intensive operations that are carried out by international organizations that no authority is able to check and to penalize.
All these transgressions to law and morality weaken the resources of the state and impair the social condition of the inhabitants because of the tax evasion they generate in every country.
